Hello all, I have a MSI Trident 3 9SI-616.
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the graphics card if it's not a hassle.
I currently have a 1660 super in it and want to go up to a 2060.

Any thoughts or ideas would be great, thanks for reading.

Should be no problem, so long as you double check the dimensions of the new 2060 vs the 1660 Super in it right now. You have basically no extra room to work with, so get some measurements on what will fit for sure before grabbing something.

But, as Armadillo notes, you might as well stick with the 1660s anyways because you're not going to find any good prices for a 2060 for a good long while yet, possibly a year or more.

In 2021, a jump from 1660 Super to a 2060 for the price you have to pay is not worth it (and that's an understatement). You'll have to wait a couple of generations to get a GPU that's worth your $.

First, find the card you want, then sell your old card asap to take advantage of the insane market out there right now.

I got a AORUS 3080 and sold my 2080S for $700 about 7 months ago.
Then I got a 3090 FE about 2 months ago, and sold the 3080 for $2200

I had gotten my son a 1660ti about a year ago, then was able to get a 3070 recently, I sold the 1660ti for $495.
Then a few weeks ago, I got a 3080 FE for him, and sold the 3070 for $1300.

I just looked at that case. You'll have to check for measurements and see what cards will actually fit in that case.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
